Consumers use the DirectTrust network for free!
You’ve just seen your doctor and you want your visit summary in a digital format, or you’ve had some medical tests performed and you want to receive the results quickly, securely and privately. Perhaps you want to send those test results to a specialist for a consultation, or you are starting with a new doctor and want to send those results along with your health summary documents to the new doctor. How can you do this today? The DirectTrust network makes it possible. Using the DirectTrust network, you can communicate digitally with your care providers in a safe and trusted way, with the ease of using secure email!
The DirectTrust network allows patients and care providers to securely send and receive personal health data with those that need it!
Consumers can join the DirectTrust network by signing up for a free PHDid available from the Janie Appleseed Network’s Member Home page. You only pay a one-time fee of about a dollar for the identity proofing processing and a few cents per month for the PHDid handling service fee. The Janie Appleseed Network offers help with processing and handling fees for low income members needing assistance to cover these costs. Your PHDid includes HIPAA-grade secure e-mail you can use to safely share personal health data with care team members on the DirectTrust network.
